He was told t his uncle had an income from his savings and was able to live on the interest on his money. That was how George P.

Miss Crothers’ play there is less tang of reality of the pathos and tragedy accompanying the metamorphosis from a devoted wife into a gay di- corcee than in Mrs. Parrott’s story. The theme is given a lighter, ex- tremely sophisticated treatment, and gains in the entertainment values what it may lose a bit in dramatic intensity. Miss Shearer herself gives one of the best of dual role imper- sonations. She does not distort her features, yet shows an amazing dif- ference between the eager, loving wife who spoils her husband and adores her two babies in the days before she has knowledge of “the other woman” thrust upon her, and the wiser, gorgeously gowned and very witty woman of the world who at a house party meets her former husband and promptly throws him into subjugation again. There would seem to be as litile cause for criti- cizing Miss Shearer'’s acting as her appearance. Marie Dressler, one of the finest comediennes of the screen, resists what would be rich opportunity to pveract the role of a gruff, worldly wise dowager. She is excellent; not 80 funny, perhaps, as in another re- cent role, but filling this one per- fectly to its capacity. . Rod La Roque as the very suscep- tibe husband is adequate. So also are Hedda Hopper, Raymond Hack- ett and others in their respective roles. But the picture is Miss Shearer’s and, for this reason alone, well worth seeing.

For three Summers Hickey has been mefiflnfifl;h@ Governors of 31 States where hiking has taken him.

Kentucky and Tennessee are particu- larly hard hit by.the drought, which had hardly been inflicted upon Texas when he left that State, he said. From Washington, after a week of sightseeing, the 24-year-old hitch-hiker will fare farth to Annapolis to meet Gov. Ritchie of Maryland. Thence he will go through Delaware to New York and penetrate the New England States before returning to his native Texas. “I'm not trying to do a marathon,” Hickey explained, “I'm just taking my g to see everything of historical. interest along the way. 1 make notes on the condition of the country as I go along, and am also mak- ing a study of certain sections to help me in my work at the university.” Hickey did a bit of cattle herding on Texas ranches before he entered the State university. He is short, wiry and sun tanned. In addition to acquiring fame in Texas as a hitch-hiker, he is also the champion bantamweight boxer of the university, “If it wasn't for my craze for hiking during the Summers, I would have tried out for the Olympic boxing team,” he said. |LADY HEATH, RECOVERED, SAILS FOR EUROPE Bays ‘“Accident at Cleveland Air Races, Beems to Have Been Good for Me.” By the Associated Press.
